Wolf said she had no idea that a video of her sticking her son’s head in the toilet would get the reaction it did. “It was just a joke,” Wolf said.

The mother says she was simply playing “a prank,” after being blasted on social media for giving her 3-year-old son what she calls a “swirly” in the toilet. “They’ve threatened to kill me, murder me, shove my head in a toilet, bury me halfway alive, cut my head off,” Wolf said. source

The Leesburg Police Department and the state of Florida have both have launched investigations into the matter.

Wolf said her 10-year-old son was filming the video.

She said she sent the video to a former friend, and that former friend sent the video to another woman, who posted it on Facebook.

“I would never do it again. I would never want this explosion of hate,” Wolf said.
